Either your kernel does not run initrd code, or initrd is somehow messed up
and is unrunnable. Can you send me your full compressed kernel config, and a
copy of your initrd.gz file?

I did spot one inconsistency: Your build-initrd.sh config creates initrd.gz
file, and your bootloader config loads initrd-crypt.gz file. Are you sure
that bootloader is actually loading correct initrd file?
